i was wondering what rpms you guys shift at, and what rpms you cruise at to get the best mpg and what mpg do you get. i get from 19-21 average, i dont always drive like a grandma though.

My car = 0-60 in ~9sec
It's slow, I know

I get about 28mpg in my GT, consistently. I have a K&N drop-in and I shift around 3k regularly, and about 80% of my driving is highway. I also keep the car empty of cargo, no dead weight =].
